Orthognathic surgery changes the jaw position and occlusion, and also affects the original structure and function of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). With the widespread development of orthognathic surgery, the impact of orthognathic surgery on the structure and function of the TMJ is increasingly valued, and the importance of the TMJ in orthognathic surgery is gradually recognized. Proper understanding the relationship between orthognathic surgery and TMJ not only helps to elucidate how the orthognathic surgery affects the condyle and causes temporomandibular disorders (TMD), but also has significant clinical significance in preventing and treating TMD in patients underwent orthognathic surgery.
正颌外科手术改变颌骨位置和咬合关系，同时也会影响颞下颌关节（TMJ）的原有结构和功能。随着正颌外科手术的广泛开展，其对TMJ结构和功能的影响日益受到重视，TMJ在正颌外科手术中的重要性也逐渐得到认可。正确认识正颌外科手术与TMJ之间的关系，不仅有助于阐明正颌外科手术如何影响髁突并导致颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMD），而且对正颌外科手术患者TMD的防治具有重要的临床意义。
